I believe Notch has said they kept selling the game like now, and keep updating the game as long as its viable with profit. And after that his idea was to release the sourcecode to the public so modders can continue on.

That would be cool. Modders already do sorta have the source code. Forge and MCP are basically parts of the minecraft.jar re-written so it's easier to mod with it. At least that's my understanding.
